    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    To measure human interaction is measuring whether the car drives like a human, unsafely. Why would you want to measure that? If anything too many disengagement are being measured because humans are disengaging when they don't like what the car is doing, regardless of safety.

    There are lots of adverts for the Polestar 2 on social media at the moment. The strap line is: A Life Less Grey (gray). The car used is unfortunately an off White colour. So I always read it as: "A Lifeless Grey"

    Just to be clear, there's no new info in this patent document. There's some new claims to the method of manufacture, but the original disclosure, with all the same figures and identical description was published in October 2015 (US 2015/0303481- Maxwell Technologies Inc). The subject patent is...

    How did Elon get my knickers in a twist today?

    Well, where to start, I'm in the UK, I've paid for FSD twice now and it just seems to be getting worse and worse. I mainly wanted it for smart summon, which we still don't have seven year after I first paid four FSD. Summon is effectively non functional since you have to stand right next to the...

    There are SCs in the UK which you need an adaptor for. For the last couple of years we've been taking my Model S down to Land End for our Summer holidays. The SC network had improved markedly over the last three or four years, first to make it possible to get there by Tesla, and now to make it...

    That's great, is there an FSD thread it should be posted in. Sorry for the snark but I've given up simply disliking the "personal views on FSD" posts that have been clogging up this thread recently 😡

    Hi, you really need to sell your shares as soon as possible. I'll have them if you like. If I understand you correctly your investment thesis is reliant on Tesla solving fsd because apparently, EVs will be a commodity with low profit margins. But, all the evidence is that Tesla margins are...

    I wasn't going to post this until I reached a certain round number (not far to go now). For those who aren't aware, horrible histories is a children's' educational program/ book series. This song is about "the world's richest geezer", which is how some of us are feeling this week :D

    So on Monday I told my wife how much more my chairs were worth just that day. This morning at breakfast she said, "you know, when you made £xxx the other day, well Elon Musk's worth increased by $34B", I looked up from my food and said, after a pause, "yes, but he earned his money"!

    Because education and information are not the same thing? But I don't disagree with your broader point. On the other hand, things are valuable because people value them, not because they are (intrinsically) valuable. You only have to watch the tsla stock price to see that. To be clear, I think...

    Actually it's both predictable and NOT boring. I think it's a precision vs accuracy thing. "The share price will rise" = accurate, "TSLA will be higher tomorrow" = maybe who knows (not precise)

    So UK tax year started yesterday and I spent a long weekend reading here that the SP was going to the moon on Monday and thinking why don't these heathens have Monday off? Also assuming that the striong pound would finally fall before I could spend my tax free cash on TSLA. Needn't have worried...

    Lucky you, it is impossible for me to book a service through the app because it doesn't recognise my address. All our cars are now Teslas, I hope nothing goes wrong Yes I was confused too, but if you look at the top of your screen there's a clock, that clock tells you the time, the time it...

    Even though my new MSLR arrived on 23 December, I thought I'd spec a new refreshed MS just for the LOLs. Expected delivery (UK) ...2022 (no month indicated):eek: I'm a bit happier now :)

    Oh this is ridiculous, I'm being stymied from opening a bottle of bubbles by the strength of the pound- more like the weakness of the dollar - oh well, it's only a matter of time :) Good luck to the longs!

    OK so I picked up my new MS LR on 23rd, but only just caught up with the thread. Both the service centre and me are in Tier 4 lock down. Consequently in the UK no new car pick ups around London are from an amusement park car park (Thorp Park). I was going to include what was wrong with the car...

    There's no need for any of that. I ordered my AP1 MS mere days before the upgrade to AP2. My delivery date for my new MS LR is 23 December. You do the maths ;). On the other hand, Merry Christmas :D

    I drive my 2016 MS all over the local single track roads here in the UK and its fine size wise. Especially since every other car is a much larger 4x4. I guess if I still lived in the City then a smaller car would be better, if only for parking. In other news, loving the price action. I missed...
